Evan Gattis was the Braves’ only source of offense this afternoon against Cole Hamels in the series finale in Philadelphia. The Braves scored two runs on two hits, both Gattis solo home runs — one in the second inning, and one in the seventh, giving him 18 on the season. The Phillies scored twice in the first inning against Braves starter Paul Maholm on an RBI double by Chase Utley and an RBI single by Darin Ruf.

After Hamels tossed a scoreless eighth inning, running his pitch count to 99, Darin Ruf cracked a tie-breaking solo home run to right field against Braves reliever David Carpenter. B.J. Rosenberg was called on in the ninth to lock down the save, and he retired the Braves in short order for his first career save. The Phillies complete a sweep for the first time since June 3-5 against the Marlins. The Braves were last swept August 22-24 against the Cardinals.

The only thing I couldn’t figure out was how Hamels let him hit a second one given that he was the only Brave really hitting him hard today. The second one was no fence-scraper either, he just killed them both.

In between the two homers, Gattis crushed a ball that was caught on the warning track in dead center – Hamels dipped his head right after it was hit, thinking it was gone for sure. It was just one of those things, Gattis just owned him today
